...The idea is that individual colleges and universities could mimic local NPR stations, producing some of the content locally and subscribing to other content from a larger organization.
Individual IHE's (institutions of higher education) would produce some courses or parts of courses locally, supplementing these courses with learning materials (online lectures, assessments, simulations etc.) or and whole courses (perhaps edX or Coursera).
This model works very well for NPR. The NPR "mothership" receives about half of its funding from local stations. These local stations get access to programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered. As a listener to my New Hampshire NPR affiliate, NHPR, I get the best of both world's. A mix between local news, produced and reported by NHPR, and national and world news from NPR. Member stations also contribute programming back to NPR, which can then be distributed to all the affiliate stations.
